Travel / Renting a car in Bydgoszcz? [3]

hey guys, has anyone rented a car in Bydgoszcz? My fiance is from there and we're going there in August for two and a half weeks. In the past we've used the public transport and relied on her father for getting around, but it would be nice to be more independent this time. And also, I was thinking that maybe it would work out cheaper if I just bought a second hand car over there to use for when we're in Bydgoszcz? What's car insurance like in Poland? And any websites I could check???

Any advice is much appreciated.

P.s. I'm just new to PF but I love it already, I spent last night reading many an interesting post!

Language / Polish words that sound funny? [224]

I was recently talking to a (Polish) girl in work and somehow the word "chimney" came into the conversation, at which point she started laughing, because it sounds "funny". Anybody have any words they thought sounded funny when they were/are learning english/polish? For me, I always thought "chciałbym" sounded funny. Dunno why.

UK, Ireland / Limit on quantity of cigarettes brought back from Poland to Ireland? [3]

quick question guys,

i always thought that the limit of cigarettes you could take from Poland to Ireland was 200, but a friend of mine is trying to convince me that there is no limit because of the fact that Poland is a member of the EU, and the fact that you've already paid tax on them. what's the story with it???

thanks

(fairly tipsy, got a bargain on a bottle of Bushmills earlier :))
